Travel Adapter question

Which plug for Europe??
I have purchased the World Travel Adapter Kit. For a trip to Germany with the G4 PowerBook, I want to take just the adapter that will work there. According to the Manual, this is the one with "Round Thin Pins." However, I have two other European adapter plugs (a Radio Shack one and some other kind) which very closely resemble the "Round Thick Pins" part in the kit which says it's for Korea. They are MUCH thicker than the pins on the one labeled for Europe.
Is there any chance these two items are switched around in the kit? I am hoping to either hear from someone with personal experience with these, or some reassurance from Apple as to which one is correct. Thanks very much!

Your MacBook or better said the MagSafe of it has a auto-sensing and auto-switching power supply the correct adapter from the World Travel Kit is all you need.

International Travel Adapter Question

I am thinking of bringing my MacBook to Turkey. Do I need just an adapter or an adapter and a converter to use my laptop? Thanks.

World Travel Adapter Kit

Hi all,
Am thinking about getting the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. I have checked the specs and the comments under the accessory details and can find a comment which answers this question but I am one for going by technical specs and I cannot find any. For my own reassurance, can an owner of said kit confirm it is a 2A charger and thus will 'fast' charge the New IPad (IPad 3). Thanks all. (ps I have a new iPad so know fast charge is ironic but lol I hope you know what Im trying to say, ie it's not a 1A charger-it's just I've heard it works with an iPod / iphone so think I need clarification.)

Alternatively, a third party plug adapter will work just as well. THe power brick is rated to accommodate the world wide voltage variances (100-240V) so all you really need is a plug adapter.
Not saying don't buy it, however 40+ for the world wide kit or $10 or less for a plug adapter (if you aren't really traveling the world, why buy plugs you'll never use?)

World Travel Adapter kit and India

I am going to India. I want to take my ipod and charge it while I am there. Does the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit have a plug that will work in India? I have the USB power adapter already.
Thanks!

Ketchupchips,
This article should give you comfort in finding what you need once you get there if what you have does not fit.
http://www.channeltimes.com/India/News/AppleiPod_Mini_Now_Available_inIndia/551-17306-783.html
The adapter kit should be all you need. India uses two round pins just far enough apart to fit a small finger between them. You would not want to leave your finger in that position while plugging it in, though. : )
This site gives the specs:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/StoreReentry. wo?productLearnMore=M8794G%2FB
"The World Travel Adapter Kit includes a set of six AC plugs with prongs that fit different electrical outlets around the world. For world travelers, this is the perfect kit to ensure power connectivity in most countries you may travel to. The Kit is designed to work with (and requires) the white portable power adapter that ships with iBook, MacBook Pro, and PowerBook G4, and it also works with the iPod USB Power Adapter and iPod FireWire Power Adapter (available separately). The AC plugs included in the World Travel Adapter Kit directly support outlets in North America, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong.
Compatible with power adapters for iBook, MacBook Pro, PowerBook G4, iPod USB Power Adapter, and iPod FireWire Power Adapter."
While they do not specifically mention India in the list, India uses the British style plug.
The only unresolved question in my mind is if you have a 220 volt adapter or if the power adapter you have auto senses 220 volts and adapts. I presume it does but you will want to make sure for your specific product. This comment is typical of Apple power supplies:
"People mentioning anything about a convertor are misinformed. I am in Germany as I type this and the product works perfectly. 100-240V means you DO NOT NEED a convertor."
The person commenting does not specify which Apple product they are using in Germany so just look at your adapter/power supply and make sure it says 110/220 volts.
Bon voyage,
Ji˜m
A quick check here confirms my belief that your iPod should do fine with current up to 240 v.

Travel Adapter and iPod USB Power Adapter

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but this is all new to me so please bear with me I just bought an iPod video, a World Travel Adapter kit and the Power Duo kit - which contains a power block wall charger, USB mini cable, and car charger. I was looking at the plugs in the travel kit and do not see how they work. The product data says that it works with the USB power adapter - which at this point I am assuming is different than the power block wall charger? Can someone verify this for me? Also, can someone then tell me how these travel adapters plug into the USB power adapter (or power block wall charger) so that they can be used when traveling overseas. I can't tell from the photo of the USB adapter how this would be done...I don't want to buy yet another power adapter if I don't need one, but I sure can't see how they work with what I have so far or how they would work with the USB power adapter..I would have thought that the travel kit would have some with everything that I need but apparently it doesn't.
Thanks in advance.

ipod video Other OS

Now I have hooked it up to a PC without itunes on it. The ipods says it is charging but when you disconnect you can see that the battery level is even lower. Does this mean that I should just take back the ipod to exchange it for a working one?
Thanks

Travel Adapter for 130W T530

Hello,
I have a T530, and I'm stuck for what I need to do to get a travel (airplane+car cigarette lighter+AC) power adapter for this system. It has the enhanced graphics, so I use the 130W adapter.
I have the 90W travel adapter from my T500, and I tried connecting it with Power Manager set to "airplane seat power mode" so that it wouldn't blow any fuses and will reduce its power draw. However, when I connect the 90W adapter, it runs off battery anyway and hover over Power Manager shows a tooltip saying that "this adapter does not provide enough power". So, I disconnected, turned off Airplane Seat Mode, and reconnected, and it did run for a few seconds but sure enough blew the 3A fuse in my car.
So, two questions:
1) Anyone know where I can find a 130W+ travel poewr adapter? I want to have 130W when I'm on AC mains, and the option to use DC power, without having to carry two separate bricks. So I need the 130W equivalent of the old travel adapter. I don't even see a 3rd party option like iGo at this wattage.
2) Anyone know how to get a 130W T530 to stop blowing fuses? If I have 3A@12V, that is up to 36W available. I noitice right now while disconnected from a charger that my laptop is pulling 1.4A @ 11.57V from the battery = 16W, so it should definitely be possible to run off of my car's cigarette lighter without blowing the fuse. I was hoping the "airplane seat mode" setting would do the trick... but apparently not.
One note... hardwiring an AC inverter to the battery/alternator with an 11A fuse is not an option for me since I am always in a rental car when using my laptop.

I have a 15A fuse for all 3 cigarette lighter outlets together. My 2-way splitter in one of them has a 3A fuse in each leg, which I am holding, that is now blown after my experiment. Be that as it may, my question is whether there exists a travel power adapter that is capable of outputting 130W when connected to AC mains and also running at any wattage (maybe 130W or lower) when connected to car DC power. Can anyone help with that?

Travel Adapter Over Heating to 121 degrees F.

Hello, has anyone else had problems with an HP EnVY overheating? The first machine I ordered burned up in 20 days. So 42 days later I recieved another.   Now, the power adapter is overheating to 128 degrees.    It is called "Travel Adapter" HP part # 6348-002 and Stamped "Replace with Part # 644240-001.   The computer shipped to me with the travel adapter. It is only 12 days old. .......Bother!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well, you got to give credit were it is due.
I just recieved a call from HP customer service, they are sending me a new charger to fix the overheating issue.
WOW....I have been working with computers for a very long time, and this is a first. A phone call to ME, asking if they could help.
This is GREAT!.   Well Done HP!

Apple World Travel Adapter Kit and the iPhone!

so, i have the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit which i was using with my powerbook.
now, im takin the iphone with me abroad, and im just wondering if it would be compatible.
the thing that confuses me is that the iphone adapter is usb, and with the powerbook adapter, north american plug can pop off and i can place another one to it.
this is what i have:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8794G/B
i think i need this:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB051LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0MQ&mco=MTQ1MzA
anyone try it yet?

Thanks, but my question was can I use the 10 watt power supply with the iPhone 4?
A 10 watt USB charger should work, but may not charge as fast as the iPhone charger. The 10 watt iPad charger will but other brands may not signal the iPhone about the power rating, so the iPhone may assume a standard USB port, which can only provide 2.5 watts.
The 5 watt that it comes with is a an Edison plug and can't be changed with the world kit.
The World Travel Adapter Kit includes a charger with a removable plug so that charger can be used with the plug adapters in the kit.
You don't need the kit, though. You can just buy non-Apple plug adapters to use with your current charger.

Universal Travel Adapter for the Zen Mi

I'm planning on ordering a 6GB white Zen Micro from the Creative store soon and hopefully getting it in time for my trip to Germany and France this July - so I've also been looking at the Uni'versal Travel Adapter in the Creative store also. But I have a few questions about it...
Since the normal power adapter seems to be out of stock for the time being, I was planning on just using the USB charger with my computer to recharge *while I have the player in the US* - which is really no big deal - but does the uni'versal travel adapter offered *need* the "regular" power adapter too, or does it plug straight into the micro and then into the wall without it's
Also, will the uni'versal power adapter work in France and Germany? (I'm pretty sure it will, I'm just asking because I don't want any nasty surprises!)
Thanks for your help, I'm a terrible n00b to the whole mp3 player thing period - but I feel better asking.

The travel adapter doesn't need the other charger also, it's stand-alone.
It will work in France and Germany.
Really all the travel adapter is, is the original adapter with different sockets. If the other adapter were available you can get this and buy a travel socket.

Apple Travel Adapter suitable for MBA?

In the Apple Store website, the products listed as suitable for the Apple Travel Adapter Kit includes the MacBook but does not mention the MacBook Air. (The MBA's MagSafe Power Adapter is 45W; the Mac Book's is 60W) Has anyone used any of the Apple adapters with an MBA? I'm going to be in Argentina next February and would like to use mine while there.
Hope someone can help me!
Warewolf

The travel adapter kit is only the detachable plugs that you can swap out on your brick. I have used the travel adapter kit appropriate attachments in Europe and UK and it works perfectly. The brick itself is the "converter" for your MBA. The travel adapter kit is just the interchangeable plugheads.

Defective travel adapter

My 90W slim travel adapter I bought from hp-batteries.com is defective. The warranty claim center is useless. It asks for the serial number, and then asks for the model number. It then says it doesn't recognize it. It didn't even register on your website!
The problem is twofold. I hear a constant high pitched sound that I do not get with my supplied adapter. Second, it shocked me. If my connection wasn't grounded, I could have ended up in the ER, all thanks to the subpar quality of your adapters.

World travel adapter kit with MacBook

I have just bought a travel adapter kit to use with my MacBook Pro (UK). I believe that my MacBook does have a MagSafe power connection, which the product details seem to suggest are compatible with the adapter kit. However, whilst it is obvious to me how to use my iPad and iPhone with the kit (which charge via USB), I do not understand how I connect the MacBook with the adapter kit. Please can somebody explain this to me? I need to know fairly urgently or I'll have to buy a new adapter that makes sense from somewhere else.

.. the adpater kit comes with country specific wall socket adapter plugs that you attach to your existing electrical plug.. you attach one of these adapter plugs to your Mac's power cord, then plug it into the electrical socket in the wall.. you don't touch the magsafe plug at all.

Cheap alternative to Apple World Travel Adapter Kit?

The Lenmar World Travel Adapter Plug Set is only $8.64 on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Lenmar-AC5-World-Travel-Adapter/dp/B00013BL18/ref=wlit_dpo?ie=UTF8&coliid=IYUGMO3LZMVRI&colid=32VC09BIR8RXB
Will this work?
Thanks!

You will notice that the adapters shown in the illustration at the Amazon link are for two pronged plugs. They are also not designed for keyed plugs.
The Apple Charger for the iPad has 2 prong, un-keyed plug which is OK, the long cord version has a standard 3 prong plug which will require a adapter in front of the adapter.
Sets like the one you reference handle most countries, there are some odd-balls.
Sites like [*this one*|http://kropla.com/electric2.htm] have all the gory details by country.
